Waggy Stays Hilton

Waggy Stays Hilton is licensed by South Derbyshire District Council for dog home boarding in Hilton. The council's most recent inspection awarded it 5 stars out of 5.

That puts it in the 79% of Derbyshire licensed businesses rated 4 stars or above (33 of 42).

Its site advertises dog home boarding, dog day care.

We found no entry for this business on the ICO register of fee payers. That is common for sole traders and is not necessarily a failing, but a business holding your address and door key would normally be expected to be registered.

There are 2 other licensed businesses in Hilton, none rated higher.

Under the star rating scheme a 5-star operator qualifies for a licence of up to 3 years and correspondingly fewer unannounced inspections, so the rating affects how often the council will look in as well as what it thought at the last visit.

South Derbyshire District Council publishes an address for this licence, which is set out in full below.

Its website publishes a rate of £10 per visit. Very few licensed operators publish prices at all, so this is unusually transparent.

We read 10 pages of its website on 2 August 2026, about 5,432 words in total, and extracted 9 details from them.

We last read South Derbyshire District Council's register 5 months ago, so treat the expiry date in particular as indicative rather than current.

Where these figures come from

• Local authority animal activity licence registers — English local authorities. Factual fields extracted from each council's published public register: trading name, licence number, licensable activity, star rating and expiry date. Where a council redacts an address — as they routinely do for home boarders operating from a residential address — the record is kept without a location and never geolocated by inference. Licence: Open Government Licence v3.0. Refreshed 1 August 2026.
• Operators' own public websites — The licensed businesses themselves. Factual metadata — description, opening hours, contact details and advertised services — extracted from each operator's own public website. robots.txt is checked and obeyed before every fetch, requests are rate-limited to one per host per run, and every field links back to the page it came from with the date we last checked. Claims operators make about themselves are not verified by us. Licence: Summarised, not reproduced. Refreshed 1 August 2026.
• Postcode geography — Office for National Statistics / Ordnance Survey, via postcodes.io. Postcodes already published in council registers are resolved to a parish or ward and coordinates. Only postcodes the council itself published are looked up. Licence: Open Government Licence v3.0. Refreshed 1 August 2026.
• Licence details are republished from the South Derbyshire District Council public register under the Open Government Licence.
• Companies House and ICO entries are matched by trading name and corroborated by location; unconfirmed matches are not published.
